Reasons GSP is immune?

[Sexy Jesus]

Didn't Johnny Hendricks run him the fuck out of town?

I'm pretty sure win or lose, he was going to retire (take a break?) that night. He said weeks before the fight he would make an announcement that night.

GSP has a more complete skill set than Askren will ever have. You should be ashamed to compare the two.

Ben outwrestles Hendricks who nullified GSP'S wrestling and outstruck him. Give Ben a crisp jab, a few Superman punches and a spinning side kick and they are EXACT replicas. They fight 85 percent on the ground and that is where they stay. Only Ben does it better arguably.

1. Cruz dis-proved ring rust. You need to train correctly.
2. Surgery and recovery methods for knee injuries have improved
3. He's no longer fragile. He just needed a break.

Cruz didn't really dis-prove ring rust. What Cruz proved was that ring rust did not apply to him. Cruz is immune to ring rust. That does not mean that others are. Cruz is an extremely cerebral fighter though. In fact, the only other fighter that really approaches the game from such a heavy cerebral standpoint is Georges St. Pierre, so in the end, you may be correct that ring rust is not a factor for GSP. I had to arrive at the conclusion differently than you though. It is the cerebral nature of GSP's fight game that makes him comparable to Cruz when talking about things like ring rust. Other fighters though, ring rust is a real thing.

Fragile mental state...Is that what that guy said ?

Yeah, I imagine being the GOAT and the face of the MMA for many many years, probably indicates he is fragile mentally.

Just a little common sense here ffs. It's a joke around here but I don't think anybody really knows how much energy it does take the be " The Rock Star ".

Silly fucking train of thought.

As for rust and injury they are what they are. The man fought nothing but the best with having the heart of a true champion. If he thinks he can overcome rust and injuries. I'll take his word for it.

So give Ben everything he doesn't have and he would be good too? You don't say. GSP is a striker who added grappling. Ben is a wrestler who added nothing.

What does that have to do with you saying Diaz outstruck GSP after I proved GSP outstruck him on the feet?

MMA wrestling is not the same as collegiate wrestling so we don't know that Ben out wrestles Hendricks, I'm sorry we just don't. Also, that was a freight train version, best in class Hendricks that fought GSP. That Hendricks has never been seen again. Lastly, the old timers around here would tell you never try to use MMAmath, it just doesn't work. That is what you are doing right? Hendricks out wrestled GSP (which he didn't) and Ben can out wrestle Hendricks, therefore, Ben > Hendricks > GSP

You want some math, I'll give you some math. GSP never met a man he couldn't beat in the Octagon. 25-2, avenged both loses, and he is considered the best MMA wrestler of all time by most, holding the record for most take downs in UFC history with 66. You think Ben Askren can "get a jab" and be like Georges? GSP uses a carefully orchestrated set of jabs, 6 different ones, that people refer to as his jab. Its 6 different kinds of jabs with 6 different set ups. Ben Askren could spend the entire rest of his career trying to learn to jab like GSP and he would likely fail. GSP has the most complex jab game in MMA history.

For anyone interested here is Jack Slack's breakdown of GSP's 6 different jabs and why they are so effective.

Today we will examine some of the striking tools St-Pierre employs so effectively in his fights:


- The Springing Jab


- The Staggered Jab


- The Level-Change Jab


- The Safety Lead


- The Shortened Right Straight


- The Superman Jab

I didn't read but the reason is easy. Aliens. How can zika make his head grow when he's blessed by aliens who ALREADY have super big heads??

I bet you never thought of that, huh flyboy?

Friends of the aliens can't catch zika, so GSP should be in Brazil competing in mma in the olimpycks. I think the only reason he's not on the team is due to his metal (mechanical/cyborg) groin bone.

 

[PreDaToRTacTiCs]

I could see Woodley Serraing him.

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

Also, that was a freight train version, best in class Hendricks that fought GSP.

That was pre-USADA Hendricks who agreed to random testing twice, refused both, and said he was never going to do it.

Meh. 6 jabs and still got beat into retirement by Hendricks.

 

[johnnyroastbeef]

gsp isn't coming back he is enjoying retirement with his boyfriends

0/10 troll job

Why bother if you have nothing to offer?

Way to respond to my carefully crafted post. Georges has the most complex jab game in MMA history. Askren simply cannot attain that, or at least its very unlikely.

Moose has the superior jab. GSP does zero damage, the KOS fight was an anomaly. At least Askren will finish the occasional opponent on the ground.

Askren fights guys ranked #200. GSP fought all top 5. Step your troll game up son, you really don't know what you're doing.

I guess we are going to continue this. Moose does not have a better jab game than GSP. I said GSP has the most complex jab in MMA and he does, employing 6 different versions to set up 66 take downs. Also we must factor in that Moose wasn't fighting the top contender for 10 consecutive fights like GSP was. GSP finished his career on 10 consecutive title fight wins. There is no doubt that GSP has the more complete skill set between the two.

In other words, its much more difficult for GSP to finish fighters when he is fighting 10 consecutive top contenders for a title vs. Moose who fights whoever they can find and put in front of him.

He knows GSP is superior. He is trolling.

Nerd. Maybe if you chant your spiel about his 6 jabs 66 times it will magically change the fact that your boy was boring AF. The division does not miss him except for comic relief. Did anyone else get a huge laugh when Georgie called out Bisping?

Just how many of your favorite fighters did GSP beat? Diaz, BJ, anyone else?
